Position Summary
We are establishing a new research laboratory led by Prof. Frauke von Versen, focusing on reproductive biology and women's health through interdisciplinary basic, translational, and clinical research. The research investigates mechanisms underlying maternal and child outcomes after assisted reproductive technologies, with a particular focus on corpus luteum–derived endocrine signals in decidualization and endothelial function. Additional research areas include the pathomechanisms of endometriosis using 3D and organoid models, as well as the links between reproductive disorders, reproductive aging, and premature vascular aging contributing to long‑term cardiovascular risk.
We seek an experienced postdoctoral fellow with a strong background in reproductive biology and in vitro models, who is motivated to help build and shape a new research group. Experience in 3D cell culture, microscopy techniques (e.g., fluorescence and confocal microscopy), and organoid‑based disease modeling is an advantage. An interest in software‑based analysis and R‑programming is welcome. We welcome applicants who are detail‑oriented, enthusiastic about innovative research, and enjoy working in a collaborative environment.
